Diamond Rose⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: M D Grant| T: J S Smith

66/1

Only modest form to date and she looks the sort who will do better in time when competing on level terms in handicaps.

Form: 55747

Jessica Rabbit⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Max Kendrick⁽⁵⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

150/1

Has made mistakes without ever threatening to get involved in two minor hurdles. Looks more of a longer term prospect for minor handicaps.

Form: 6678

Little Millie^v1¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Bryony Frost| T: N B King| OR: 110

2/1

Consistent handicapper struggling to find the right break. Coped with a drop to this trip last time when a close third to runners from the Henderson and King yards. Visor to help and strong each-way claims in another ordinary race.

Form: 234463

Miss Delighted¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: David England| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero

14/1

Went close on debut in an Irish bumper last April, before joining this trainer for £30,000. Nibbled at in the market ahead of a tepid British debut but showed real promise here last week.

Form: P/32-05

Mossing⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H J Evans

33/1

Passing Glance mare and first foal of a dam who was a modest winning chaser who liked fast ground. Did not jump well last time but a possible improver with conditions drying out.

Form: 775

Regarding Ruth¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Maxime Tissier⁽⁵⁾| T: L Wadham| OR: 109

10/3

Plugged on past beaten horses last time but may find this longer trip on a more galloping track to her liking.

Form: 39-4834

Rose To Fame^t1¹⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| BFWS

10/1

Out of a dam who was a Class 3 winner for this yard. Clear promise in bumpers and now makes hurdles debut following wind surgery. Stable's hurdlers show a 40 point level stakes profit here over the past five years and a 24% strike rate.

Form: 0-723

Rosie Royale⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Harry Teal⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal

100/1

Winner of five races on the Flat but she has shown little aptitude for hurdling in either start and looks out of her depth.

Form: 5P

Trull La La⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson

7/4

€50,000 purchase as a three-year-old is half-sister fairly useful hurdler AS I See It and fair hurdler Chocca Wocca. Satisfactory debut leaves her with little improvement to find and yard have a 32% strike rate with hurdlers here.

Forecasts

Trull La La (7/4), Little Millie (2/1), Regarding Ruth (10/3), Rose To Fame (10/1), Sweet Adare (10/1), Miss Delighted (14/1), Raffles Surprise (25/1), Mossing (33/1), Diamond Rose (66/1), Rosie Royale (100/1), Jessica Rabbit (150/1)

TRULL LA LA and Rose To Fame represent yards with good records with their hurdlers here. The former gets the verdict having looked in need of the experience on her debut having run green when the pace quickened. Sweet Adare and Little Millie should be thereabouts, whilst Miss Delighted is one to keep an eye on in the market.
